MRS. LoeAN's GREAT SORROW.
The Old Light and Brightness Como fror
Her Eyes-1Iannfng Logan.


Her Eyes-l1anning Logan.
To those who knew her well when her
face was full of bright Joy and hope, Mrs.
Logan is now another woman. There
were times in years past when Mrs Logan
was pressed with trouble, when her hus'
band was i'll and when the days, wers
darls-so dark that she hardly knew which
way to turn for relief. But In the darkest
day and hour there was always the sum
light of hope and faith shining in her fine
ewes and cheerful smile. Now her wan
face has a gray tone in the suffering,
hopeless expression, and the old light and
brightness are gone from her eyes. Her
voice, too, has changed It has lost all
that was joyous and happy, and to see her
now, the old charm of her hearty, ringing
Iaueh comes back to one as no part Of
Mrs. Logan, but as something far off and
an echo Of quite another life. 1t used to
be said by their intimate friends that Gen.
Logan would be more at q loss If Mrs.
Logan died first, that he could not spare
her SO well, and that she would be the
stronger il left alone. Mrs. Logan was
strong and self reliant while her husband
lived. Her life was so much his life, or
rather his life was everything to her. She
must, In the years to go on, whether she
will or not, become used If she Is not rec
onciled to her loss. But Mrs. Logan Is
too much changed to ever be the same
woman again. 1t is not that she is COM
planning, but 1t is the settled acquiescence
to r Jlow, stunning in its suddenness, and
heavy and oyerpoWering in its weight OF
sorrow. No house could be more changed
than the Logan house, given over to the
sad atmosphere as it is now and to the s1a
lent routine Of daily life.
Manning Logan has surprised every;
body by bis unlocked for strength and
manly bearing, and the thoughtful de-
votion to his mother, uIheeding his own
deep sorrow to comfort her. He had, as
an only, much INDUCED son, been rather
dependent on his parents, with boyish,
unsettled opinions. But he seemed at
once to grow old in years, dignity and
Judgment, a / to realize that so far as
possible he L st now be the strong man
and the stay of his mother. he Is only
%, but he seems older, much older, since
his fathers death. He has withdrawn
from the business firm here Of which he
was member, and hear Is to go into
business at youngstown, o., where Miss
Edith Andrews, tho lady to whom he is
engaged, resides: They are to be mar
ried early in the spring.
It has been his desire, and was before
his fathers death, to assume the name OF
John A. Logan, Jr., and he is often called
by that name. But in his own family lie
bears tho name Of Manning, and was
named for IN uncle Of his father. His re-
semblance to his fnther is becoming more
and more striking as he grows older. His
hair is straight, jet black and glossy as
the generals was, and his wayy black
mustache is quite the same. his feat
ures are more delcately cut, like Mrs.
Logan's, but the contour of his head and
his height of figure are like Gen. Logan,
with the natural difference Of age. There
is at this time hardly so handsome young
man in Washington as Manning Logan,
or, as he Is likely to be known in the near
future, John A. Logan, Jr.-Washington
